Manuele Piastra: Customer-Centric Product Ownership, and how it grows the product IQ of the Scrum team Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Coaching the Uncoachable, Dealing with Difficult Product Owners In this segment, Manuele talks about the anti-pattern of a Product Owner (PO) with a product manager background. PO's with this background tend to focus on managing the work and the team, assigning tasks themselves, and writing solution-centric stories. They provide little focus on the "why" and the vision, which deviates from the idea of working as a team and breaks team dynamics. Manuele suggests nurturing the relationship if the PO is open to learning and working with you, but redefining the coaching contract with the sponsors if the PO is a senior person who is used to telling others what to do. If you can't coach the PO, Manuele advises considering getting out of there. For ideas, tips, and models to use when coaching your Product Owner, check out our Coach Your PO e-course, now on its second version. The Bad Product Owner: Customer-Centric Product Ownership, and how it grows the product IQ of the team In this episode, Manuele talks about the impact a great Product Owner (PO) can have on a Scrum team. He explains that great POs start from the "why" and develop a compelling vision for the product. They find out who the customers and personas are and help team members get in touch directly with customers and stakeholders. This helps raise the product IQ of the team, making them more product savvy. Great POs allow team members to talk to customers and stakeholders to understand their needs better. Manuele suggests that POs should frame the problems clearly and not worry about how the team divides the work. When working with a great PO, it feels easy.

Artemis Live - Insurance-linked securities (ILS), catastrophe bonds (cat bonds), reinsurance
When it comes to underwriting cyber risks, capital, whether traditional insurance and reinsurance, or alternative from the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, "has to be rewarded", Matt Harrison from risk modelling and analytics specialist Moody's RMS, told us in our latest Artemis Live interview in April 2023. As Director of Product Management for Cyber at Moody's RMS, Harrison sets the strategy on building their cyber risk focused modelling products and analytical solutions. He also spends his time helping insurance-linked securities investors and funds to understand cyber risk as a class of risk to expand their allocations to. Harrison explained that, when it comes to building models for cyber risk, Moody's RMS is taking a targeted approach. "I'm not going to build this huge comprehensive suite of stuff and waste my time, I really want to be targeted about that. "Really from a from a model perspective, we try and divide the world into like perils. I think sometimes we hear this language about scenarios and scenarios are very bespoke things. We've got to think much more holistically, or otherwise we're not covering the whole risk spectrum. "So we think about cloud outages, data breach, malware, and ransomware, things like DDoS so attacks against networks and in each of those, we want to build a model that really tries to describe the physics of the system, if that if that's a sensible way of describing it," he told us. Later in the interview, Harrison also highlighted the need for capital to be adequately rewarded for taking on cyber exposures. " One of the problems for the insurance and reinsurance industry is, there is a limited amount of diversification within cyber. There's only so much diversification that you can find, and therefore that capital has to work harder, it has to be rewarded," Harrison said. "I think that's why the demand is so high for capital to come in, to really drive it. But the way that we see it is that it has to pay a risk premium, because of that diversification." Listen to the full podcast episode for many more insights on cyber risk and cyber risk models from Moody's RMS' Matt Harrison.

I mean touching your nose close. Way too close.What do you read? Nothing. It's all a blur, right?Now hold it at a comfortable distance. Everything comes into focus.This is the perfect analogy for a challenge many marketers face. When it comes to an audience at arm's length – namely, our current and potential customers – we are practiced at using our communication skills to help them understand the perceived value of our products and overcome any possible anxiety.But the group of people we are closest to – the ones working inside the very same walls as us, so to speak – our colleagues. We can overlook the necessity of understanding their possible anxieties, the non-monetary costs they face, and help them understand the process-level value proposition for actions they need to take.We can be so focused on doing the thing, we overlook communicating why others should join us in getting it done.Or as our next guest puts it, “change agents need broad support.”I talked to Christina Martin, Executive Director of Marketing for Chase Auto, JP Morgan Chase and Company (https://www.jpmorganchase.com/), on the latest episode of the How I Made It In Marketing podcast to hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories.Martin manages a team of six engaged in B2C marketing for Chase Auto.JP Morgan Chase has $3.7 trillion in assets and $292 billion in stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2022.

Mayuresh Ektare, an expert in risk management and SVP of Product Management at Brinqa, joins Sean Martin for a quick dive into the world of centralizing risk management frameworks. Ektare explains that the magic sauce isn't just bringing the data together, but stitching it together to create a unified understanding of an organization's attack surface. By overlaying business context, customers can prioritize and act upon the right set of findings in a timely fashion. Martin and Ektare discuss the challenges faced by customers in finding a centralized repository for business context, with many relying on tribal knowledge or CMDB records.Ektare introduces the concept of a Risk Operations Center (ROC), which allows organizations to orchestrate the risk lifecycle and proactively reduce exposure. Comparing it to a Security Operations Center (SOC), he highlights the importance of extending vulnerability management programs to encompass cloud infrastructure and application security posture management. The conversation also touches on the challenges of managing false positives and distilling a vast amount of findings into actionable items. By overlaying business context and understanding the impact of vulnerabilities on their organization, customers can fine-tune security scores, prioritize effectively, and respond accordingly.Note: This story contains promotional content.

Johannes Lindman: Owning the Business, and being ambitious, key skills for great Product Owners Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Power of Ambition in a Great Product Owner According to Johannes, a great Product Owner is someone who is ambitious on the business side, knows what they want, and is able to make decisions, and are given the mandate to do so. They show up to team stand-ups, have skills in the business, and are goal-oriented. We also discuss why it is so important for the team to have a great Product Owner as it's a set of skills they rarely can master themselves. Johannes also shares a story about a Product Owner who was annoyed that she didn't get what she wanted, but was able to be assertive and communicate her priorities effectively. The Bad Product Owner: Overcoming The Proxy PO Anti-Pattern In this segment, Johannes the PO anti-pattern that occurs when someone is put in the wrong position. The problem is not the person, but rather the fact that they might not understand critical aspects of the job. One such anti-pattern is having a proxy PO. To resolve this, Johannes advises supporting the product owner and giving them the basics. Scrum Masters should work to find the actual business owners and bring them into contact with the team and the proxy PO. It's important to be careful and aware of expectations and not to step on people's toes. [IMAGE HERE] Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner?

In this Their Story podcast, Sean Martin talks with Matthew Vinton and Sergey Medved from Quest about the challenges associated with Active Directory (AD) and the importance of these systems in a company's overall security methodology and posture.Active Directory remains an integral part of an organization's IT infrastructure as it is the pillar of identity that most organizations use to enable their workforce, partners, and business processes. The trio discusses how Quest helps companies manage their AD environment across a variety of functional areas like assessing the environment, detecting changes, putting in preventive controls, and guiding response and recovery.They also cover the growing challenges security leaders face concerning AD and the gap between the people in the trenches and business leaders who may not understand the inherent importance of AD. Exacerbating this reality is the ongoing security talent shortage, where few new entries into the field learn the technology as it is not as forward-looking when compared to Azure.About the Cybersecurity risk management for Active Directory from QuestMicrosoft Active Directory (AD) is under attack. That's why cybersecurity risk management is so important. With 95 million attempted AD attacks every day, it should be no surprise to hear AD was the target of another cybercrime. But these concerns aren't contained to on-prem AD; in 2021 alone, there were more than 25 billion Azure AD attacks. It's clear cybersecurity risk management needs to be a consideration, and even if the issues you've encountered aren't intentional or nefarious, you still need to be prepared for the worst.Note: This story contains promotional content.

How do you take a startup, or really any game-changing idea, from conception to launch and success in the new native digital world? And how do we connect and celebrate with our colleagues in this new native digital world? Our guest Doug Camplejohn, has given a lot of thought to both of those questions. Doug Camplejohn is the founder and CEO of Airspeed. And it has been remarkable to see how Doug and his team has stayed true to a true north vision to solving a problem that matters, but at the same time be super flexible in both thinking, product development, and marketing, Pay special attention to Doug's wisdom about why the questions, “are you having fun?” and “do you care if you get fired?” are such powerful questions, and how they can affect a person's decision-making. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Doug Camplejohn on how to create a Startup The conversation starts with Doug explaining his approach to creating a startup. Doug explains that entrepreneurs are constantly looking for patterns and problems to solve, and he keeps a "suck list" of bad things and ideas that stick with him. He believes in being firm on the vision but loose on the details, and that good ideas don't die but instead become something he can devote the next decade of his life to pursuing. Doug further explains that he and his team at Airspeed started with a clear goal in mind: to make employees feel more connected and celebrated, even if the details of how they got there changed along the way. The Trap of following the “Perfect Plan” The importance of having a clear problem direction rather than being solely focused on a product vision is further addressed by Christopher and Doug. They discuss how some entrepreneurs can become obsessed with a particular product idea and then struggle to pivot when it fails. Doug also believes in solving a problem that is personally meaningful and resonates with others, rather than chasing after the latest hot technology. He believes that if the problem statement is genuine and resonates with people, the solution and approach to solving it can be flexible and evolve over time. Product Direction vs Problem Direction They then talk about the importance of having a problem direction rather than a product direction. They talk about how many entrepreneurs become obsessed with a product vision and then realize they need to pivot one day. Because there are other factors to consider, from the top to the bottom of the organization. Finding a problem that is personally meaningful to the entrepreneur and resonates with others, according to Doug, is critical. They also discuss the difficulty of changing product direction and how it affects morale. Doug believes that taking a balanced approach, planning ahead of time and breaking it down into smaller chunks, can help with flexibility and adaptation while still maintaining a clear vision.
